Full Changelog on GitHub: https://github.com/entropy-zero/source-sdk-2013/compare/ez2_release-1.6.3...ez2_release-1.7.0

• Bullsquids have footstep sounds created by CW3D
  
• Gonome eating animation tweaked to trigger the "eat" event mid-animation (as opposed to at the end of it)
  
• Stukabats have glowing eyes
  
• Xenbies have a zombine-like jawbone instead of a void under the headcrab (only visible after being killed by a barnacle, certain dynamic interactions, etc.)
  
• Bullsquids and gonome models support foot IK chains (i.e. dynamic foot positions based on ground traces and animation blends)

• The level transition from the map ez2_c4_2b to ez2_c4_3 (Or Venture Ghost to Exhumation Zone) causes a crash.
  
• Stukabats that spawn stukapups will have stukapups with the same appearance as fully grown stukabats.
  
• Loading a save with bullsquids can cause them to appear to be looking in the wrong direction.

We are looking to resolve the first two of these issues in the next release. This release will not be published to the default branch.
